Tech Buzz

Apple I-Pad review
or reviews rather, as with most apple toys there is two perspectives to the i-Pad. The "Techie" or "Prosumer" and the "Average Consumer". So here they are.


Prosumer Review (A prosumer is someone who knows about the product well before launch and marketing)



It's a bigger faster better i-Pod Touch, think of some fucked up twilight zone episode in texas where Jeb Bush get's pissed at an i-pod touch and tells Steve Jobs he will expose him for the evil mastermind he is if he doesn't make a hugeungeous i-pod touch so Jeb can see his porn clearly while he whacks off in the bathroom of air force one. 
So here you have the i-pod touch huge i-Pad
This sucker is about half an inch thick, look identical to a fuckin i-pod (sorry for all the fucks apple just brings the fuck out in me)
The low-down, as i said it's a giant ipod touch, it's faster duh, it's less annoying to use because it's huge, but you won't take it anywhere because it's huge, .... so it's less annoying to use but you won't be taking it anywhere.
Processor is fast as fuck, like fucking fast as a fucking rabbit fucking or something you catch my drift?  Except for when loading videos, oh and the epic FUCKING fail of apple refusing to use flash, like what the fuck do you think people want this for? Porn damnit PORN, and you don't even sell it in the app store, like seriously apple your missing a goldmine.
A wifi model will run you 500-700 US depending on which ridiculously small memory option you choose 16-64gb add wireless service from AT&T for another 130 plus monthly carrier fees.
You use the iPad by tapping and dragging on the glass with your fingers, just as on the iPod. When the very glossy 9.7-inch screen is off or largely one color, every greasy nerd fingerprint is obnoxiously apparent.


There is an e-book reader app, but apple's apple only we won't play with your toys DRM (Digital Rights Management) system is just fucking stupid because you can't read the title on other e readers such as a kindle and you can't read on the i-pad very easily in sunlight and it weighs a pound and a half, like shit throw and exercise app on there and use it as the weights.
Typing on this thing is annoying as fuck unless your sitting down or are able to set it down on a flat surface it is too wide to easily thumb type quickly and i fell like i'm going to drop it when i have to reach keys in the middle,  you can sort of one hand wield it and type one handed but, your typing with one hand so of course it's slow, and you look like a fruitcake while your doing it. The best way to use it is to sit with it on your lap as you would a laptop computer, hmm if only there was a dock ... oh wait there is, it's 70 bucks and you can dock it and use a keyboard....... wtf, seriously apple, now I'm just pissed, just make me a god damn macbook pro with a touch screen you idiots.


I really hate talking about failure but seriously... I guess I must here's some more for the shit list.


NO MULTI TASKING, one app at a time, (MUSIC DOESN'T COUNT YOU FAGS SO DON'T EVEN COMMENT THIS)
NO USB JACKS
NO CAMERA



Personally I would never use this thing, I already own one, it's called an i-pod touch, and i hardly use that thing even though it's in my pocket about 10 hours a day, i mean i listen to some music walking to work or on lunch maybe play some i-bomber on break or under the desk when it's' slow, but I wouldn't cry out for mercy if my i-pod was in danger.  I really do enjoy using my ipod touch, i use it to give me ideas for blogs, I do research using Google Reader so I can directly quote articles and gather information quickly and concisely, but and ipad wouldn't be any better in my opinion, but maybe that's just me!




Average Consumer Review


Go buy this it's shiny and jesus loves you.


seriously you think I care about average consumers? bah! live tech, eat tech, die tech.
















Blackberry Corner

Have you ever purchased and replaced your blackberry? If you your like me (a cracberryer) then you probably have everything set up jusssst the way you like it and you dread thinking about having to do this. If you've never done it or aren't as hardcore of a user as myself you probably think it sound pretty daunting. The good news it's as easy as those fuckin lean mean fat grillin machine commercials, "just set it and forget it!"


It's really simple to do first fire up Data Manager, at this point you may want to back up your blackberry information to your computer but it is not required.


Now click on Device Switch Wizard




Next Click Start under Switch Blackberry Devices




Now if you haven't done so yet, plug in your Blackberrys and make sure to select the proper pin for current and new device, you wouldn't want to load a blank OS onto your old Berry.

Click Next and the process will begin, depending on your device it should take 15-45 minutes.
